A Network Data Analytic Function (NWDAF) may assist an application server by determining a quality of server (QoS) or delivery timing requirements can be met at a location, e.g., along a route. The NWDAF may collect information from one or more cells near the location, e.g., an Operations and Management (OAM) system. Communications with the NWDAF may be facilitated by a Network Exposure Function (NEF) or an Nnwdaf_AnalyticsInfo_Request service operation. The NWDAF may indicate a potential QoS change at the location. The application server may be a V2X application server.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
4. The first apparatus WWWDAF of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to collect information from a plurality of cells near the location via an Operations and Management (OAM) system.
5. The first apparatus of claim 1, wherein the request further comprises timing information pertaining to when the application server desires data delivery.
6. The first apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to receive the request via a second apparatus providing a Network Exposure Function (NEF).
7. The first apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to send the response via a second apparatus providing a Network Exposure Function (NEF).
8. The first apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to receive the request via an Nnwdaf_AnalyticsInfo_Request service operation.
9. The first apparatus of claim 1, wherein the response comprises an indication of a potential QoS change at the location.
10. The first apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to send, to the application server, an update comprising an indication of a potential QoS change at the location.
11. The first apparatus of claim 10, wherein the update comprises information on a possible QoS change relative to a geographic area or a planned route.
14. The second apparatus of claim 12, wherein the processor is further configured to receive the request via an Nnwdaf_AnalyticsInfo_Request service operation.
17. The application server of claim 15, wherein the request further comprises timing information pertaining to when the application server desires data delivery.
18. The application server of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to send the request via a second apparatus providing a Network Exposure Function (NEF).
19. The application server of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to receive the response via a second apparatus providing a Network Exposure Function (NEF).
20. The application server of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to send the request via an Nnwdaf_AnalyticsInfo_Request service operation.
21. The application server of claim 15, wherein the response comprises an indication of a potential QoS change at the location.
22. The application server of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to receive, from the application server, an update comprising an indication of a potential QoS change at the location.
23. The application server of claim 22, wherein the update comprises information on a possible QoS change relative to a geographic area or a planned route.
